Summary: "Roland Furieux, tome 4: Traduction nouvelle par Francisque Reynard" by Ariosto is a narrative poem written in the late 16th century. This epic work is notable for its exploration of themes such as honor, valor, and chivalry, set against a backdrop of fantastical elements and historical references. The story revolves around the characters of Roger, Bradamante, and Marphise, who embark on a quest filled with adventure and battles, often highlighting the courage and agency of women in a male-dominated society. At the start of the narrative, the author discusses the historical neglect of women’s contributions and praises notable figures like Vittoria Colonna. The plot quickly introduces Ullania, a messenger from the Isle of Lost, who brings distressing news about the tyrant Marganor's cruel treatment of women. As the protagonists learn of the atrocities committed by Marganor, including the humiliation of women travelers, they resolve to take action against him. This sets the stage for a series of battles and the protagonists’ determination to restore justice, further illustrating the epic's themes of heroism and empowerment.
